The grocery delivery business has been in continuous growth and development in recent years. Especially during the COVID-19 season. Gorillas is a grocery delivery company founded in 2020, to cater to the increased demand for groceries with increases in the rate of restrictions in Germany. In this article we will talk about Gorillas delivery. We’ll go over the company history, how it works for riders, the pay you expect from this company as a rider, etc.

History

Gorillas was founded by Jorg Kattner and Kagan Sumer in May 2020 in Berlin, Germany.  Jorg and Kagan are the acting Chief executive officers. The brand has delivered groceries to customers using their riders who shop and deliver all the requests to their doorsteps. The company is valued at 1 billion dollars. It’s characterized as one of the fastest-growing firms in Germany. At this point, there are no major investments or acquisitions made by the organization. 

How does Gorillas Delivery work?

Gorillas’ riders make their money by completing grocery orders from customers. Customers make their orders and write grocery lists; a rider accepts orders, does the shopping, and delivers to the customer in 10 minutes. The organization provides each rider with an e-bike for delivery. You need a working permit for the country you are applying for, be at least 18 years of age, and have a smartphone with data. 

How much does Gorillas Delivery pay?

The company has reported (according to the republic) to be paying their riders an hourly rate of 11.5 euros which is around 14 dollars. This is after tips from customers. There is not a lot of information relating to the average salaries of riders. However, ABC News also reported a similar rate to that of the company. 

Pros and Cons of working for Gorillas

Pros:

• Plenty of orders. Gorillas delivery has been quite popular in Germany since it has been in operation. Riders can enjoy high levels of orders as long as they operate within the city.
• Good pay. According to Gorillas (and information published in various news agencies), the average pay per hour for a rider is around $14 after tips which is a decent salary.
• Personal effort dictates the amount of income. Meaning, if you work more, you earn more. You can work overtime depending on the income you want. 

Cons: 

• Not available in smaller towns. You need to be available in cities with many customers since the organization is very new to the market.
• Bike riding. Not every rider is comfortable handling bikes. However, this is the core delivery method. So you need to learn more about riding bikes in the city.
• Some customers may not give tips that are considered part of the hourly payment. This reduces the riders earnings.

Gorillas is one of the gig economy companies which has grown at a fast rate. The main reason has been COVID-19. The company would also offer you the best rates and a considerable amount of income if you join as a rider. You can easily manage the time you will be available to do deliveries, the earnings based on the number of hours you work. The most beneficial thing is that the company has its bikes given to riders to fulfill the customer deliveries. All in all, I would suggest this company for anybody looking to earn extra money.
